| Setup Option | Cost | Data Control / Locality | Ability to Save Workflows | Ease of Use | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local: Docker + ngrok | Free (except PC resources; ngrok free tier) | Full local control; data stays on your machine unless accessed via ngrok tunnel | Full (persistent local storage; workflows, credentials, and history are saved on your disk) | Easy - after setup; Docker/CLI knowledge needed, ngrok setup adds a step | |
| Local: Docker or npm | Free (except PC resources) | Full local control; all data is local | Full (persistent local storage) | Moderate; Docker or npm setup, but no public access to telegram or any external hooks | |
| Online: Render or Railway (Free Tier) | Free (Render, limited free period for Railway) | Data hosted in cloud (Render/Railway); less control than local | Not persistent on free tier: Data and workflows may be lost if the instance is stopped, restarted, or deleted. Free databases on Render expire after 30–90 days; no backups | Easy; UI-based deployment, public URL, but must manage persistence risk | |
| n8n.io Official Cloud Plan | Paid (€20/mo+; free trial available) | Least control; all data on n8n.io cloud infrastructure | Full (cloud saves all workflows; managed backups) | Easiest; zero setup, managed updates, support included |
